Hello,
I am writing from Estonian-Latvian IT training company – Devtraining – which goal is to bring thought leaders around the world (we been working with Mary and Tom Poppendieck, Gojko Adzic, J. B. Rainsberger, Pat Maddox, Dan North, Jurgen Appelo, etc.) to Baltic States and also to help to embrace Agile development methods here. Devtraining is working already for 4 years. We have branches both in Tallinn and Riga.
Now we are organizing IT conference in Jurmala (Latvia), which will take place from 13th to 15th November 2013. And we are writing to you because we believe you could be one of our speakers!
